Or will be try to sit on the fence and wait for Sue Gray - and so fail to support either of his bosses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 And... will Thornberry if asked about COVID measures, back the Tories to spite the SNP, or back Labour's policies in Wales, which are closer to the Scots Govt policies?

I’ve all but stopped watching it but I thought this one was okay. Fiona Bruce asked if anyone was prepared to stand up for Boris Johnson, not a single hand went up. Màiri McAllan did well.

Good to hear. If Johnson by some miracle survives this fiasco it really will be make your mind up time for the Scottish Tories . This could be as close to a breakaway as there has been for some time.

I understand it was from Reading last night but didn't see it as I was actually out in Reading myself seeing Altered Images. Anyway, it's just up the road from me, Reading East, which is mainly urban, borders my constituency, currently held by Labour but flip flops a bit. Reading West is Tory - and is a bit more rural but similarly flip-flops. I'm not surprised that Tory voters were openly critical as that matches my experience locally as well. However a couple of points I'd make is that a majority of these Home Counties Tory voters were against Brexit and so wouldn't be overly disposed to Boris Johnson and Co anyway - I know from a couple of friends of mine who are Tory members that he's pretty much despised in the local constituency association. The other point is, they may no like the current government but they're not overly keen on Labour either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was fine last night on the questions being asked but she can get tae fook sticking her nose into Scottish independence.

Yes this is the thing, they may not agree with what the Tories are doing but they don’t much like the other option either, this has been going on for years and the only reason the Tories are in power. These flip flop constituencies will be so important at the next election, the Tories may have just pushed people to the boundaries. The critical audience were a range of ages as well. Someone on here posted something about how the papers report things in Scotland and in England, I would never have known Sunak was under such criticism otherwise. You should try and watch it on catch up particularly when it is your local area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
